I need to know; Suppose a man did not pay dowry for his wife. In this scenario, it is against the customs and traditions for the man to receive dowry when one of his daughters is getting married. What does the culture say about a son marrying. Can the son give dowry to his fiance's family, or must the dad clear with the grandparents? I need the help from wazua kikuyu elders. If you do not follow some of these traditional practices, they will come to haunt you later on. Culture is very important in as much as we have become westernized.. How true are these generational curses. Anyone have an example??? Mawinder is a good example Has Mawinder seen this? How do you associate me with this community??? In our culture we dont have such bullshit!!!!!! They meant you are a cursed one!!! him an @Alpha COULD be 'anti-nyita' @ngogoyo, everybody carries their own curses.crosses... Curses are not transferable. If @mawinder paid two goats and pot of honey... And if @Iganamagana was asked to pay 2 mirrion and he failed to pay... then the curse will be his own! Be educated regarding differentiating dowry from so-called bride-price... Every culture na mambo yao. quicksand wrote: AlphDoti wrote: But you can't buy and sell a wife or husband. Apparently you can. Ama what do you think dowry is? In India, the girl's family pays the dowry for the man, completing the use case that a man can also be bought Teremka hapa Kiambu ama Murang'a usikie of brides whose families ask for a million. Its commercial. Its all commercial...(even life, which is assigned the monetary sum of your life insurance policy ) You can also sell your wife/husband... or more commonly discard him/her. It is called separation,...or divorce.

Since kikuyu dowry is never fully paid-off, what ceremonies are involved when you go back for another ruracio? What do you mean another ruracio? Don't people only racia once? The rest have different names. BBI will solve it :)

I have been made to understand that dowry is a lifetime thing hence the question. If those other ceremonies are not called "ruracio" what are they called and what is involved?

A 'kirigu' is offered free. In fact the family should give you kakitu for accepting to marry their uncircumcised daughter.
